Was most importantly, calm, non-political family time.
As far as physical and digital gaming goods, mom and I shopped for each other and I bought some sewing supplies she wanted while I got Yakuza 0 and N Sane Trilogy on PS4. I also downloaded Injustice 2, Hellblade, and Lego City Undercover from the Christmas sale. $71 total (Yakuza 0 and Crash were about that price together, but were free to me cause Christmas ... If you're wondering, I'm surprised how much adjustable needles and other assorted craft supplies run).
I also got money from parents, aunts, and some candy/a small orange in my stocking. Mom and dad also got my brother and I texting gloves and warm sleepwear.
We had pretty much the Thanksgiving stuff and a ham for dinner and I'm currently recovering from eating a bunch of tamales. I should clarify we are in Texas, which also explains why it never dropped below 40.
What did you do for Christmas?
Now I'm going to see Disaster Artist with a friend tomorrow, wondering if I'll do much on New Year's, and still wondering how much of the Last Jedi hate is real, cause I thought it was pretty good but there were some silly parts and jokes that fell flat. I dunno, I've always been a very casual fan, so I guess whatever people are angry about didn't bother me.
Oh and I deleted all my horizon saves to force myself to start over.
Merry Christmas and happy New year and all other assorted holidays by personal preference everyone!
Hellblade is on my list. I got a fitbit for Xmas.
I really should get one ofv those, really ... I'm back over 200 lbs, which isn't good for my height. Might use some Christmas money.
200 is my goal. I need a scale now 'cause i don't know what I weigh at the moment. I'm a little scared at what it'll say about my sleep. I've been irratic with that lately. I am totally hooking it up to a phone app. That's going to be fun. DATA!
I spent yesterday snoozing on the couch, watching Netflix, and watching the snow fall. I wasn't feeling well, probably stress-related, so I opted to stay home.
Having Christmas with my mom tomorrow AM, and with Jason at his parents tomorrow PM. I doubt there will be anything game-related. Sigh.
That sucks. I'm watching Punisher on Netflix now.
Actually, it was kind of nice and peaceful. The five days leading up to Christmas were nerve-wracking at the market. For a small town market, we were awfully busy. We hauled in over $122,000 on Fiday alone.
Loved The Punisher! In my opinion, the best of the Marvel series on Netflix to date.
Gaming-wise I got what I asked for. Mario + Rabbids, SnipperClips Plus, and the new Bubsy game. And some gift cards and other stuff.
Have you played Bubsy? How is it? What is SnipperClippers?
SnipperClips is a weird Switch game.
I've played a little bit of Bubsy. So far it's decidedly average. Not bad, but not great. The same folks who did this new Bubsy also did Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, which makes sense since both of those games are revivals of forgotten 2-D platformer characters.
I haven't gotten any games for Christmas almost since I started working. It's okay though, since I can afford any game I want now.
I don't get The Last Jedi hate either. We finally got something different, and it was certainly much better than the prequel movies. Even those didn't get as low as the 52% audience score Last Jedi has on rottentomatoes though.
What do you ask for at Christmas now? I'll admit the magic is a bit gone knowing what everything costs and that I COULD just get it, but it's nice not to pay for some.
I've seen that audience score called into question because people can launch campaigns on those and most in-person word-of-mouth is positive. But usually if that's the case, the low score gets adjusted after a bit, so I don't know. I'm just glad the movie made enough for it not to matter, because I would get tired of the retreads of the original trilogy like the last two movies. And I liked those new movies too, but I don't eat ice cream every day ... New flavors are good.
I usually ask for things that I don't feel like buying myself or don't really need to get anytime soon. This year, I asked for a new pillow and some new clothes. Honestly, this pillow is so comfortable that I should have bought one like it ages ago, but that's me for you.
I thought The Last Jedi was fantastic.
I liked it, especially the sword fight at the end and everything with Rey and Luke and Kylo, but I get why people didn't like the Finn and Rose stuff, the super Leia, etc. I was fine with the porgs.
My opinion? It's a Star Wars. I always like them; never become a huge fan. It's good.
